Χαλκηδών, πόλις Βιθυνίας, ἡ πρὸς τῷ στόματι τοῦ Πόντου, καταντικρὺ τοῦ Βυζαντίου. ὁ πολίτης Χαλκηδόνιος. Στράβων “Χαλκηδόνιοι ἐπὶ τῆς περαίας ἱδρυμένοι πλησίον [οὐ] μετέχουσι τῆς εὐπορίας ταύτης”. τὸ θηλυκὸν Χαλκηδονία καὶ Χαλκηδονίς. Στράβων ἐν δωδεκάτῃ “καλεῖται δὲ τὰ ἀριστερὰ τοῦ Πόντου [Θρᾳκικά], τὰ δ´ ἐν δεξιᾷ Χαλκηδονίς”. καὶ Μένιππος ἐν περίπλῳ Βιθυνίας “ἀπὸ ἱεροῦ Διὸς οὐρίου καὶ τοῦ στόματος τοῦ Πόντου ἀριστερὰν ἔχοντι τὴν ἤπειρον καὶ ἐπιπλέοντι εἰς Χαλκηδόνα τὴν πόλιν εἰσὶ στάδια ρκʹ, ἀπὸ δὲ ταύτης ἕως τοῦ Ἀκρίτου στάδια ξʹ”. μέμνηται ὁ αὐτὸς καὶ τῆς Χαλκίτιδος νήσου. ἐκλήθη δὲ ἀπὸ Χάλκιδος τοῦ παρακειμένου ποταμοῦ, ὡς οἱ ἱστορικοὶ ἅπαντές φασι.

Chalkedon: a city in Bithynia, the one near the mouth of the Pontos, opposite Byzantion. A citizen is a 'Chalkedonios'. Strabo: 'The Chalkedonioi, settled on the opposite shore nearby, [do not] share in this prosperity.' The feminine is 'Chalkedonia' and 'Chalkedonis'. Strabo in the twelfth book: 'The parts on the left of the Pontos are called [Thracian], and those on the right Chalkedonis.' And Menippos in his sea voyage of Bithynia: 'From the sanctuary of Zeus Ourios and the mouth of the Pontos, keeping the mainland on the left and sailing on to the city Chalkedon, it is 120 stades; from there to Akritos, 60 stades.' The same author also mentions the island Chalkitis. It was named after Chalkis, the river lying nearby, as all the historians say.
